Hello cruise-a-holics! I hope each and every one of you had an amazing Christmas! I know technically we are all still in Christmas mode but I am now well and truly in CRUISE mode! At this time in exactly seven days I will probably be at the Ocean Terminal in Southampton just about to board…

Can’t Wait To See Oceana
So the Caribbean adventure is a mere 13 days away, where has the time gone?! I feel like I only booked the cruise yesterday and all of a sudden here it is and I am beyond un-prepared! I keep telling myself I must start sorting things out and packing but then I get sidetracked by…
16 Days To Go
I woke up this morning staring at my suitcase and thought to myself WOW……in 16 days I am going to be embarking on such an amazing trip! I lay for a little longer just thinking about what’s to come and how lucky my friend and I are that we can take time out to do…
My First Cruise
Previously I blogged about my first cruise but I mostly wrote about the ship, Oriana. I thought it would be nice to share little more of my onboard experience with you today. I still remember my first cruise like it was yesterday and especially the first time I set eyes upon the ship. I thought…
A Cruise With Friends
So with only 29 days left to go until the big Caribbean adventure the one thing at the moment I am looking forward to the most is seeing my friend again. I have not seen her since we left Oceana last December after our 24-night Eastern Mediterranean voyage and I can honestly say I have…

Cruise Ship Nicknames

The same goes for cruise ships too. They may be christened, have their name sprawled across…
The Cruise Ship Bed
It may seem at first a strange topic of conversation but trust me until you have experienced for yourself the “cruise ship bed” you have not slept or even lived for that matter! Where do I start?! Well, usually it’s a crisp white, Egyptian cotton, gazillion thread count, most comfortable place on earth and it…
Christmas On A Cruise Ship
I know there are many people that love nothing more than to escape at Christmas time and a cruise is becoming more and more popular as a Christmas holiday option but, believe it or not I’m not sure if it is something I would want to do myself. As much as I love to cruise…
Cruise Reunion Nights
We’ve all had slide or DVD nights with our pals to relive our cruises, but how many of you have faithfully recreated the ships buffet for your evening?! Well, my obsession is such that I successfully recreated Independence of the Seas’ Windjammer buffet when we got together with friends to share our cruise pictures last…
